2022 Map of Rainbow Mountain

About this map

Klamath National Forest and Shasta National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape dominated by volcanic landforms and alpine drainage systems. The survey is centered on the prominent Rainbow Mtn, which serves as a topographic anchor for the surrounding Hemlock Ridge and Dry Creek Peak. This terrain is characterized by a series of distinct volcanic features, including Watakma Butte, Trout Creek Butte, and Fons Butte. The map provides a detailed view of the water resources that define the region, from the clustered Antelope Cr Lakes and Frog Lake to the vital Cramer Spring and Dry Creek Spring. A network of established forest routes, such as the Rainbow Trl and Stevens Pass Rd, facilitates movement through the mountain passes, while the small clearing of Elk Flat represents one of the few named level landmarks in this vertical environment.
